Abstract
In this present work the influence of Cenosphere filler material in thermal and mechanical properties of Epoxy resin is discussed. For comparative study, pure resin and composites made with different compositions (1, 3 and 5 wt% of Cenosphere) were prepared. The specimens were submitted to thermal analysis (DMA) and mechanical test (Tensile and Flexural) as well. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed an enhancement in the energy dissipation ability of the composite with 1wt%, wt3%, wt5% of Cenosphere and an increase in stiffness relative to the pure matrix phase. It was generally observed that the tensile strength found to increase with the inclusion of Cenosphere as filler material. Maximum value of tensile stress and strain of resin is not sensitively increased by filler material.
